You're the man! Thanks, I knew it had to be something simple but I've never messed with one of these before. Plus I was hoping not to have to take Yoga lessons in order to be able contort my body enough to get under the dash. Thanks again, DS.

: : When I pull my parking brake it feels normal until I get it almost fully engaged and it pops and all the tension is gone. The first time it happened I thought I broke it but it happens every time. Any ideas what's wrong. Thanks, DS.

: Get on Your head and get under the dash,You'll find a Pully with a clevis pin that Your E brake cable goes to.Remove the hair pin cotter that holds the clevis pin in,remove the pully,now You will see that the bushing is shot,go to a GOOD parts store and buy a bronze bushing,7/16 OD and 5/16 ID,cut to size,stake it in place,replace same and You got a working parking brake
